Section #8Costs of Arbitration. The Tribunal may award to the prevailing Party (or Parties) its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration (including the arbitrators’ fees and expenses) in full or in an appropriate amount.

The arbitrators may, in their discretion, award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators, its reasonable costs and fees. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitration activities, including its appointed arbitrator and any outside attorney and witness fees. The parties shall jointly bear the expense of the third arbitrator.

The prevailing Party shall be awarded all reasonable fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, expert witness fees and costs and the fees and costs of the arbitrators, incurred in the arbitration and related proceedings. If both Parties are awarded relief, the arbitration panel shall determine the prevailing Party.

Fees and Costs. As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to # pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration, and # reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration.

Costs. The “prevailing” Party, as determined by the arbitrators, shall be entitled to # its share of fees and expenses of the arbitrators and # its attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses. In determining which Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall consider # the significance, including the financial impact, of the claims prevailed upon and # the scope of claims prevailed upon, in comparison to the total scope of the claims at issue. If the arbitrators determine that, given the scope of the arbitration, neither Party “prevailed,” the arbitrators shall order that the Parties # share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and # bear their own attorneys’ fees and associated costs and expenses.
